The OFFICIAL Concerts/Events Summer 2007

UnwindedDreams · #1 03-13-2007, 04:12 PM

I know there was a concerts 2007 thread but I'd like to make an official thread for concerts you're going to or events like plays. You can post information from ticket info, venue info, anything. You can also discuss the event thoroughly. And any other feelings about summer events.

I think that there are a lot of great acts on for the summer. Chicago and America, Styx, Foreigner, Def Leppard, Cyndi Lauper and Debbie Harry...etc. I am psyched about Stevie going on the road again. I am going to probably skip a lot of other group shows since I have so many long distance trips on the schedule for the summer, so I'll probably be going to all Stevie this summer.

I've got Stevie at Turning Stone in June (and hopefully Bay Area in May), Cyndi and the gays in Boston on June 16th, Pat Benatar at the Marin County Fair in July, Heart at the Monterey County Fair in August. I'm hoping for AC/DC tour and for another appearance by Dolly Parton. Oh, and surely Lucinda Williams needs to come back to SF and support her new album?

Theater: really hoping to see August Wilson's "Radio Golf" with Tonya Pinkins on Broadway.

Are you a Broadway freak because I've seen them all

I'm a big theater fan, and try to get to NY once or twice a year. I love Tonya Pinkins. She was Caroline in my favorite musical "Caroline or Change".

The only one that's for sure at this point is Lily Tomlin - I'll be seeing her on Saturday.

I hope to see The Decemberists at the end of the month in Denver. Cyndi in June and I'm just waiting to see if Dolly and Stevie are going to be doing anything near here

Good for you! If you ever need help with finding a musical...I'm here

I'm eagerly awaiting the Summer Concert schedule for San Diego's Humphrey's by the Bay. It's a small 1000+ seat venue on the water and draws some great shows. Problem is they all go on sale the same day so you have to be prepared to spend big bucks or pick and choose.

Other than Stevie in Vegas next week, I'm looking forward to tours by Lyle Lovett and kd lang on the same bill, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and perhaps the Genesis tour.

Lessee...

-Stevie in 9 days.
-Bob Dylan in April
-I'll drop in at Pinkpop at the end of May since it's around the corner. This year we have Smashing Pumpkins, Linkin Park, Scissor Sisters, Evanescene, Korn, Snow Patrol, Marilyn Manson and many others.
-Boudewijn de Groot in June.
-Genesis in June.
-Classic Werchter in July. (line-up hasn't been announced yet, but it's always good) Metallica is doing Rock Werchter I think, so they're out.
-The Police in September (IF I can get tickets this Saturday...the other show sold out within an hour)
